Exploration of Internet Plus Product Thinking

Currently, user needs corresponding to pure online product applications have been increasingly satisfied, resulting in more and more difficulty for online products to obtain user amount. under such circumstances, many Internet companies have begun to explore the possibility of integrating products with traditional industries, namely "Internet Plus" products. In recent years, and in the next 5-10 years, Internet industry will take more efforts to integrate with traditional industries to create new product applications, in order to transform, to optimize, and to restructure traditional industries. Simultaneously, there will be an increasing number of product managers, designers, and traditional industry professionals who are beginning to work on the product planning and design of "Internet Plus" related products.

However, there are huge gaps between Internet and traditional industries. As employees of Internet companies, we often find that Internet thinking, such as "fast iteration", "pursuit of the ultimate", " detail exploration of user experience," is not applicable in traditional industries; similarly, when traditional industry professionals try to "embrace the Internet", they unknowingly followed traditional "functional thinking", unconsciously focusing only on "technology" and "production" while ignoring "user scenario" and "user behavior", which turns out to attract few users in spite of huge investment.

In this workshop, the speaker, will guide the audience to compare different thinking between the Internet and traditional industry, in order to understand "Internet Plus" better and learn how to plan and design "Internet Plus" products, by taking advantage of his Tencent’s experience in exploring, planning, and operating "Internet Plus" related products over the past few years.
